My summer friend
A girl in a white dress plays outside with her yellow ball on an early sunny Sunday morning. The streets are still calm and empty. She is waiting for a boyfriend to play with. Then she discovers her shadow and sees it as her new friend, who goes with her everywhere.
In my own early childhood I always enjoyed playing outside on a Sunday morning, because there were almost no people on the street. It was wonderfully quiet and quiet.
Children inspire me. Their ability to transcend every bad situation is amazing. Play tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They save the future that our generations have really messed up and don't even blame us for it. If we could keep the child a little more in ourselves, then we were not in such a mess. Art can help us find our childish innocence
The original painting is a mixed media / collage artwork on canvas, 100 x 70 x 2 cm. Made with layers of paper in a way in which text and letters remain visible. Acrylic paint has been applied over it in a transparent layer. Finally, I painted the girl with the ball on it.
